Ever had a moment where you needed to go buy groceries but couldn’t pay because the payment system is down nation wide?
Many people did many times and if you don’t have cash on you, well you can’t pay for shit.
A cashless society is not a good thing. And that is especially dumb since a merchant can’t refuse legal tender, but the federal government is refusing legal tender by doing this.

Never. If it did happen, it’s almost certain that I wouldn’t have the cash on me to pay for it anyway 🤷♂️I’d rather not walk around with more than $100 in cash on me.

Where does that come from? AFAICT there’s no law that requires businesses to accept cash as a form of payment. Not in Canada, at least.
You are right about the fact that businesses are not legally obligated to accept cash. I was wrong on that.
As for e-payment not working, it happened to me at least 3 times since last year, and it fucking sucks.
I don’t like to walk with a lot of cash on me, but if I know that there is a outage of payment systems, I can at least use the cash I keep at home to pay for my basic needs.
More options is good in any case. We are already tracked enough as it is, so I understand people that want to use cash.

Wow, I see. I would not have estimated that many.
